Add minced onion and saute for about 8 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and green bell pepper. Continue to saute for another 5 minutes until garlic is fragrant and bell pepper is tender but still crisp. Add the beef to the pot and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 more minutes, stirring twice, until meat is browned. Sprinkle paprika and caraway seeds evenly across the top of the meat. Add diced tomatoes to the pot. Pour 4-5 cups of hot water into the pan, until the meat is almost covered. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover to pan. Let the mixture simmer slowly for about 1 hour and a half, replenishing the water as needed to keep it from getting dry. The stew is ready when the meat is tender and the sauce is thick.
